Aberdeen Mag -12th Stri Son Saorsa Rally & Demo Run 2004


Best not to ask


I spent some time wandering around the stone circles of which there are loads of in the area, wasn't until I got home that Annie (the all wise one 'bout things stoney) told me that this area is called 'the Glastonbury of the north', wee bit of trivia there for the next pub quiz, and helps fill the copy when ye've got so many blank moments ;-)

Saturday night started off with 'Ignition' who describe themselves as a party band. Did a bloody good job as well, they had the dance floor heavin'.


Trophy time, the farthest travelled male was Pete from Spain who had travelled 2020 miles, he's been to all twelve rallies, well he used to live in the area.

'Mind Gone Blind' took over the musical duties by which time the drink had really set in and everyone was in mach 10 party mode.

 

I'll get the hang of this new flash yet.

One o' Leather's lassies put's on a brave
face whilst the other get's a Tattoo,
ever held someone's hand when their gettin' a Tat?

A retiral present, most fitting.

Somewhat hindered by Mr Jack, some idiot (er Me) tries to work out how the hell this new fangled flash gun works
Thanks to Colin Gow From Aberdeen for the photo

Blinder of a rally, judging by the hangover at least. There's not enough weekends in a year, that's another one fixed in the diary, thanks to Seth, Goonz, Marion, Nige, Dom, Chris and all who pitched in to make it a great rally. And it even smelled quite nice too.

Pity it hosed down with rain on Sunday but, the rain and the wind at least masked the horrible noise that the tight spot in my chain was making.
